Copper Foils for Lithium Ion Batteries

In the past two decades with the prevalence of portable consumer electronics, the demand for rechargeable energy storage sources of high energy density and low weight has been growing rapidly. Currently larger applications such as zero emission electric vehicles and satellites put up even more stringent requirements for energy storage devices in both energy density and power density. In all of these applications high performance batteries are more and more desired.
Lithium ion batteries are good materials for this high performance demand. There are different methods and chemicals for the production of lithium ion batteries. A lithium ion battery cell is composed of two electrodes, which are the anode and cathode, a separator, and an electrolyte. Generally, the electrodes are fabricated by applying coating slurry onto a metallic foil. One of the metallic foils that are used in lithium ion battery anode parts is copper foils.
Among different conductive substrates copper is an excellent choice for its high electrical and thermal conductivity, combined with a low economical cost. Copper Foils for Lithium Ion Batteries can be used as current collector in lithium ion batteries. The important property of copper foils is they show high conductivity to minimize battery impedance. Copper foils show heat resistance and it is a desired property for a lithium ion battery to have a long cycle life. Also, copper foils show good tensile strength and elongation properties which prevents cracking when they used in anode part for coating purposes in lithium ion batteries.

Titanium Carbide Powders and Applications

Titanium carbide which has the chemical formula of TiC attracted great interest for many structural applications due to its extremely high melting temperature, high hardness, high chemical resistance and good electrical conductivity. Therefore titanium carbide can be used in cutting tools, grinding wheels, wear-resistant coatings, high temperature heat exchangers, magnetic recording heads, turbine engine seals, and bullet-proof vests, etc. In addition, a promising field of application comprises plasma and flame spraying processes in air, where titanium carbide-based powders show high-phase stability. TiC(Titanium Carbide Powder) (325 mesh, 99,9+%)  can also be used in biomedical implant devices. Materials used for biomedical implant devices must satisfy a variety of property demands, which are often mutually exclusive. Further, different parts of a device demand different material properties. These factors often make it difficult to manufacture a medical device using a...

Bismuth Oxide Sputtering Targets and Applications

Bismuth oxide with the chemical formula of Bi 2 O 3  is one the most important bismuth compounds. Bismuth oxide has been investigated extensively due to its optical and electrical properties such as large energy gap (from 2 to 4 eV), refractive index and high oxygen ion conductivity at high and medium temperatures. These properties make bismuth oxide one of the most perspective candidates for application in optoelectronics, solar cells and solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). Bismuth oxide has a few main polymorphic forms that are known as α, β, γ, δ. All polymorphs have different crystal structure and various optical, electrical and mechanical properties. Only two of them, the low temperature monoclinic α-phase and high temperature face-centered cubic δ-phase are stable. The other phases are metastable. Magnetron sputtering is a widespread method because of high deposition rate, dense and highly adhesive films, and possibility of using commercially available large area depositio...
